yeah...Jan Berry was Jan of Jan and Dean..I just read Mike Love's autobiography a couple years back and he mentions them..they were a huge influence on Brian Wilson..I didn't realize one of the Everly Bros died...the recording I have is not that old...it was done in London live. The early stuff you and I probably both heard on the radio like Cathy's Clown....She's a bird dog, etc..
Tell Laura I Love Her, it all takes me back to the days when I was flying .o29s and .049 gas model airplanes. I use to go by the 5 and dime store every day on and back from the public swimming pool in the lake. I would gaze lovingly at the 'Firebaby' model plane mounted in it's box with the see through plastic wrap. It was gas powered and mesmerized this little boy. I had an uncle up here from Alabama to work for my father. He promised he would someday buy me that gas powered Firebaby. He was a bad alcoholic and preferred to spend his money on alcohol. He would even walk from tavern or bar in town carrying his cash from his paycheck converted to one dollar bills which he would sporadically throw up in the air attracting his fellow drunks like ducks to some bread. He could have bought that Firebaby, some new fishing gear, which I also loved to do, and some new swim gear, which was my favorite hobby, with one night's debauchery.
